The President: Let me answer the knowledge economy(经济)question first. And let me answer by telling you what I have tried to do in the United States. I have tried to produce a situation in America in which the doors of universities and colleges are open to every young person who has sufficient academic achievement(足够的文化程度)to get in, that there are no financial burdens(经济负担)of any kind. And we have not completely achieved it. But have made a great deal of progress.
Now, why would I do that？ Because I believe that the more advanced an economy becomes, the more important it is to have a higher and, higher percentage of people with a university education. Let me tell you how important it is in the United States. We count our people-- every ten years we do a census and we count the number of the American people and we get all kinds of information on them. In the 1990 Census, younger Americans who had a college degree were very likely to get good jobs and have their incomes grow. Younger Americans who didn't go to university at all were likely to get jobs where their incomes went down and were much more likely to be unemployed.
And the more advanced China's economy becomes, the more that will be true of China—the more you will need very large number of people getting university education and technical education.
The answer was probably given by ______.
A．the US President visiting China
B．the Chinese President visiting the United States
C．the US President at an international conference
D．the US President visiting Japan

Home. Few words in the English language have such a special meaning. Home is a place where you can relax, kick back and just be yourself. Just about everyone has a strong opinion of what makes a house a home. And for most people in America, home should be, above all, comfortable.
Americans like their homes to reflect their personal tastes. Many do-it-yourselfers enjoy fixing up their house and making it more "livable." They often try to create a cozy atmosphere so that when they&39;re at home, they&39;ll really feel "at home." Sofas and lounge chairs may be heavily padded and arranged in groupings conducive (有益于 ) to relaxed conversation. The bathroom even receives special attention. Carpeted floors, scented soaps, colorful wallpaper and decorative curtains adorn the "comfort room" in many homes. And on average, Americans have more bathrooms than any other people in the world.
Americans try to make the most of their space, too. The majority of homes have built-in closets and shelves, and people spare no pains to add dressers, filing cabinets and closet organizers to maximize their storage space. Although keeping the house neat is often a constant battle, Americans feel it&39;s a battle worth fighting.
People in America keep an eye on the latest trends in interior design. In the 80s, the "country" look dominated the home decorating scene. Rustic furniture and shelves full of old-fashioned knick-knacks created a homey atmosphere reminiscent of rural America several generations back. The 90s have brought in another longing for the past: the retro (怀旧的 ) 50s and 60s look——plain and simple furniture with square backs and arms and block-style. legs.
With all this attention to their homes, you would think Americans place a high premium on housekeeping. In fact, however, keeping house doesn&39;t receive as much attention as it used to. Why？ The fast-paced lifestyles of the 90s allow little spare time for dusting, vacuuming and scrubbing the tub. Ironically, however, even though more and more women work outside the home, women still do twice as much housework as men. Modem conveniences like the washing machine, the vacuum cleaner, and the dishwasher have taken some of the drudgery (苦差事) out of household chores. But in general, Americans these days take their cue from books like How to Avoid Housework.

People in America keep an eye on __________.

"Not so," say scientists Dr. Darley and Dr. Fatane. They' ve found the reasons why people don' t act. According to them, a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice there is an emergency.
Suppose you see u middle-aged man fall onto the ground. Is he having a heart attack, or some other physical trouble？ Or is he simply about to sleep off a drunk？ So it' s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
Second and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel himself responsible. He must feel that he must help.
The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They asked college students to come in to be "tested". Some came alone, some with one or two others, and some in large groups. When they came in, either alone, in pairs, or in groups, a lady went into the next room. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of something falling and a cry for help. All of this had been prerecorded on a tape-recorder.
Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped,
In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn' t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.
